Thank you USPS for being so quick with my cad plated hardware from Eric (being facetious here - it took over 2 weeks for a Priority Mail package from OH to VA!), I finally have the blower motor nuts that secure the blower motor to the mounting ring

I also now have the cad plated screws (not shown) that secure the blower motor assembly to the flange in the AC housing.

Since you can see the blower motor in the engine compartment, it needs to look good. I previously removed the old paint from it, etch primed and painted it all gloss black. You can also see the original rusty flanged nuts holding the assembly together

As soon as I finish flushing the evaporator, it and the blower motor can be installed and this part of the HVAC system can be installed
